Previews: Andrew Mackenzie – ‘Veined With Shadow Branches’ @ Sarah Myerscough Gallery

Posted by sven, October 14, 2014

The artist is based in the Scottish Borders, where the nature-rich source imagery for his beautifully rendered oil paintings is found in abundance. His work explores the connectivity between the natural landscape and the built environment, and interestingly all of the oil-painted scenes are given a viewpoint from an edge; be it the edge of a lake, a forest, a road or a mountain. Mackenzie’s work depicts an inclination towards abstraction, and through the […]
